Well because I'm not even in high school yet and I don't have $1,500 to spend on a pie but I would if I did
Make sure you can afford a proper set up for your snake before you worry about getting one, and have a plan to be able to pay for a vet visit should any issues crop up.
Would you breed a wobbler dog even though it had a cool coat?
I would say just wait and see what you like at the show. At some point you're bound to see an animal that you're like "who I want that" and then it's easy. My first morph was a spider and there are alot of cool combos with them but if you just want one for the wow factor get an albino (I think someone already suggested this). Albinos are cool because it one of the more basic morphs that anyone can look at and know what it is. If I tell someone I have an Orange Ghost Ball Python they'd be like, What??? But if you say you have an albino, everyone will know what that means.

Ohh yes I have savings for vets and I already have every thing set up just not a very big income. It would take me 7 months to save up for a piedball without taking out any for retirement and college
Start with a cheaper recessive morph like an albino or ghost. You will not see results quickly like co-doms or doms but it will pay off in the long run. Remember anything you breed it to will be at least 100% heterozygous for wahtever morph you have.
